Angelia Pulley, a graduate assistant
in the William T. Young Library Reference Services Department, has been invited
to participate in the development of an online national database at the
University of California, Berkeley called The Living New Deal (http://livingnewdeal.berkeley.edu/), the first national survey of all New Deal
public works and a general clearinghouse for information about the New Deal.
Angelia worked with Dr. Randolph
Hollingsworth, Assistant Provost and Adjunct Professor in History; Jennifer
Bartlett, Head of W.T. Young Library Reference Services; Sandee McAninch,
Regional Depository Librarian; and Mary McLaren, Government Documents, to help
create an educational display for the UK Libraries’ Works Progress
Administration archival materials last year. As part of the project, she
created a research reflection blog (http://kywpa.wordpress.com) focusing on the WPA in Kentucky. Materials
on the blog will be merged into The Living New Deal project’s national
database and map.
Additional information about UK
Libraries’ role as a Center of Excellence for WPA materials is available in the
WPA Research Guide (http://libguides.uky.edu/wpa) and at UKnowledge, UK’s institutional
repository, “Putting America Back to Work During the Great Depression:
Preserving and Improving Access to the Works Progress Administration Records
for the Future,” http://uknowledge.uky.edu/wpa/.
Your design of the blog is really eye-catching. More over the content is also very productive. Information you have provided is really very beneficial.
